Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies - Does this recipe sound good?

Wondering if you can help me. I'm not used to vegan baking and am having tea tomorrow with someone special who is an ethical vegan and I want to provide a tasty homemade treat.

I read through numerous threads on here and on the internet and found a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that sounds good. My one change would be to add a couple tablespoons of applesauce and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon as some commentators suggested. My problem is I don't have a lot of time to experiment. I am working late tonight and when I get home I need to bake and be done. I won't have time to go shopping and get more ingredients. So this is risky, I know.

Those of you who are experienced with vegan baking, can you let me know what you think and if this recipe, in your opinion, will work.

Sift your dry stuff. (A) Get all your wet stuff ingredients together. (B) Whisk or mix your wet stuff thoroughly with a spatula. (Do not beat)**. (C) Mix your wet stuff and dry stuff together; (again with a spatula not an electric mixer)** (D) You should have a nice stiff mousse-like dough. (E) Mix in your vegan chocolate chips. (F) Form your cookie dough with wet hands*** and place (with a good amount space between them) on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 20 – 23 minutes at 300 degrees until golden brown.

* Lower cooking heat allows the cookie to bake even evenly and stay chewy.** Electric mixer makes the dough too fluffy, mixing by hand allows for the right consistency to achieve the proper balance in your end result.*** Forming with your hands ensures a uniform cookie.

These cupcakes are moist, tender, deeply chocolatey, and just happen to be vegan too. They're tasty enough to eat all by themselves, but even better topped with our Vegan Fluffy Buttercream Frosting (or your favorite frosting recipe, of course). Read more.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies sound basic, but baking them from scratch can be tricky. Even a tiny misstep can result in dried-out, crumbly, hard-as-rock cookies or, worst of all, cookies that are mushy and raw in the center yet somehow burnt to a crisp on the edges. Remi Hayashi Girouard, pastry chef and co-owner of Goody Goodie Cream & Sugar in San Francisco, has a few simple rules for how to bake chocolate chip cookies the right way, every time.
